I think we probably should use the south graticule when it's significantly closer. Would you rather drive here or here? --Middlerun 01:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

we should just choose the closest graticule to the CBD at all times (excluding the ocean). is there some way to automate this process? --rikkyc 01:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

yes. use your brain. it's very quick. it's fairly easy to determine what's the best place, and then we can post the official location on here. xkcd rules - that is, if there's any contention, the first person to post the location wins (unless they're being a dick).

Weekends

We face a problem here: the Saturday information isn't available until very late Friday night. For a lot of us that's a bit late to be planning something the next day, especially if it's going to be a long drive or somewhere inaccessible. We face a dilemma: do we use the current situation, 4.00pm on Saturday? Do we use Thursday's data for a Saturday meet? Or do we meet Sundays, using Friday's data?

  • I vote Sundays, because I have uni 12.00-4.00 on Saturdays :P. Gormster 01:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I think we should use the Friday data because that's the official weekend data. So maybe Sunday would be best. --Middlerun 09:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I vote Sundays, just for general convience's sake. --rikkyc 01:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Sundays (with Friday data) for me, just because I'm booked out on Saturdays for the next month or so. DancingMan 12:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
